Recently I'm totally overwhelmed by Jeremy Lin, along with other millions of sudden fans around the world. Everybody know his story well by now. What happens in the past two weeks is even more unbelievable than Hollywood movies -- but it is truly happening. To some religious people, his performance is a proof of the existence of God.
Back to Taiwan, some so-called "professional" basketball players looked down on him when he visited Taiwan. Some debating if he is a "proud of Taiwan", because he was born and educated in USA despite his Taiwanese parents. I think he is just himself. What he has accomplished is a result of his hard-work and family support that we should respect a lot, and a lot of good luck he relates to higher mighty power. Taiwan has nothing to do with his success, however, it is also nothing wrong to feel related to him and be proud of him as many Asian-Americans or Asian-Canadians do. After all, he is indeed a direct Taiwanese decent raised by Taiwanese immigrant parents. He has gone through all stereotypes or even discrimination that other Asians faced. Luckily he has good parents with decent economical position to support him with good education -- not many people can choose Havard when they don't get a scholarship for college.
